Hoover VT 814D21-80 not working

Thanks again Andy, when I said I replaced the PCB I actually thought I had but turns out it’s the small control panel circuit board behind the buttons and programme dial. I have only just seen the large PCB at the bottom of the machine 😂 At this point I’m giving up. I have about four weeks until I have a new kitchen fitted with new appliances, I just thought if I could get this back up and running until then it would really help, but I am now happy to annoy family by turning up with bags of washing for a while. Thank you so much for your help and advice though Andy, very much appreciated 👍

Hi. That’s why I never recommend fitting pcbs as so often it doesn’t fix the fault. If there’s a large capacitor it will normally be for the motor. Have you tried a completely different wall socket and had a good look for any burned connections on the door lock, or anywhere else in case there’s a strange burned out connection that’s passing reduced power?

Thanks Andy for your reply, I have replaced the PCB. I purchased it second hand so it was very much cheaper than new. Unfortunately it made no difference. The cables from the PCB look like they are going into what I can only describe as a large capacitor type thing (sorry no idea what it is) at the back of the machine. Could this be at fault do you think? Thanks
